Peter ran up to his best friend winded.

"Hey man, you were almost late for the big test." Harry scolded.

"I know, I know, I came as fast as I could. I had a rough night." Peter sighed as he rubbed the back of his neck.

They both did their handshake and walked inside where they were met up by a tall, young, redhead, with a gray shirt on.

"Hey Tiger, how is it going?" The woman asked as she put her hand on Peter's shoulder, causing Peter to flinch in slight pain.

Harry noticed Peter's pain, but quickly realized that MJ was going to talk to him this time, so he did a slight wave and walked on down the school hall.

"What happened?" MJ asked with an annoyed tone in her voice.

"Spider-man related problems." Peter sighed as he looked down at the floor.

"What happened?" She glared at him crossing her arms.

"Another cat-themed villain, she cut my back. But I'll be healed in a few days, no problem."

"Another one. Isn't one enough for this city?" She scoffed.

"Cat isn't that bad." Peter retorted, just to be returned with a glare.

MJ sighed trying to let it go. "Well then, I am glad you will be alright, come on already, or we will be later than we already are."

Peter smiled and they continued to their class, catching up with Harry.

The Café

Carmen was already sitting at the small wooden table and Ivy was just pulling into the parking lot when Zack ran up to the table in a huff.

"I… know where… Spider-man is!" Zack exclaimed, his hands on his knees, panting.

"What, really? Tell us then! " Ivy demanded as she jumped over the short metal fence between the parking lot and the cafe patio.

"One sec, better get on a call with Player first, he should hear this too." Carmen states as she pulls the laptop out of her bag and puts it in front of Zack, pressing a green button on the side.

Player then popped up on the screen.

"Guys, I have not found that much yet. I will need a bit more time, there are mixed things on him." Player responded to the call.

"Not that now, Zack thinks he knows where Spider-man is." Carmen mentioned.

"And who he is." Zack chimed.

"Really!?" Player exclaimed standing up from his office chair.

"I saw him when I was walking, and he had jumped into an ally. I am assuming that he had changed his suit. But a high school student ran out of the alley!" Zack explained, and looked at the surprised faces of his friends.

"High school?" Ivy asked, her eyes wide.

"Ya and he ran up to his friend, I did not see Spider-man's face, but I saw his friends'."

"Are you sure? What school was it." Player asked, already typing on his keyboard.

"It is called 'Midtown High'."

"It could make sense, lots of the Spider-man related fights happen around or in that school. I don't think it could be that much of a coincidence." Player thought aloud as he pulled up some photos on the screen of the laptop for the team to see.

"It sounds plausible, we can at least check it out. I am sure he has something to do with V.I.L.E. somehow." Carmen said as she scratched her chin.

"Do you really think that he is a high school student? I mean hasn't Spider-man been around for like 2 years? He would have been like 14 when he started." Ivy thought aloud as well.

"Well the least we could do is try and see if it is him. All we know about V.I.L.E. 's plans is that they needed something from the museum and then Stark Tower as well as somewhere else that we have no clue where it might be. But they won't be hitting those places till tomorrow and the night after."

"We don't even know what they are after, we have to take this chance." Player added.

"Well, I had nothing else planned today. Let's catch us a criminal." Ivy said as she jumped up from her chair, knocking over a cup.

"Zack do you recognize any of these people as the friend that you saw?" Player pulled up a list of faces on screen. Zack scanned through them.

"That one, the red-haired kid." Zack pointed to the screen.

"Harry Osborn, his dad is a millionaire and the owner of Oscorp. But he could be friends with anyone in that school, he is the popular rich kid."

"Wait a second, I recognize that name. Player can you run it through the V.I.L.E. database?" Carmen asked, trying hard to remember.

"Sure, I can one sec… okay so he is here, V.I.L.E. has made multiple dealings with Oscorp, most of them for advanced tech, and one big one for something called 'globulin green.' V.I.L.E. Paid nothing for that, it was a trade and they sent back a more refined formula a few weeks ago, but they kept most of it."

"Could that Osborn kid have anything to do with Spider-man being against V.I.L.E.?" Ivy asked.

"I'm sure." Carmen stated.

"But we can't just go in there and ask him questions, can we?" Zack questioned.

"That's exactly what you could do. Midtown high has new students come in often, really often. Mainly just for a few days, they have the program they have been working on the last few months." Player answered once again pulling up photos on screen.

"Really? We could just walk in there and pretend to be students?" Ivy asked.

"Well you guys can, you are 18 and people would buy that you are only 16 or 17. And Carmen would stay lookout. I could make you ID's and hack in; You'd be ready for school in the morning."

"What, really, back to school. Ugg." Zack groaned as he slammed his head on the table.

The next day

"Okay here are your ID's, stick to the names." Carmen handed out two cards each.

Zack looked down at his card. "Sherman! What kind of a name is Sherman?"

"Nice, I got June, way better than Sherman." Ivy remarked sticking her tongue out at her brother.

"Come on guys, only for a day or two." Player's voice came through Ivy's earring and Zack's earpiece.

"Ugg fine, I guess I could live with Sherman for a day." Zack sighed, and Ivy snickered, as they came out of an ally nearby the school and Carmen ran off to find a good lookout point.

"Remember find the friend first, then we will find out who Spider-man is, okay?" Carmen reminded over the coms.

"We know, you told us like 20 minutes ago." Zack remarked and rolled his eyes as they walked onto the school grounds.

The moment they were walking in they were looking at all the faces. Then they saw him: Harry Osborn. He was talking to MJ next to the school doors.

"Peter is late, again! He is going to get in so much trouble. Do you know what could be keeping him?" Harry grumbled and crossed his arms.

"I am sure he was just up late studying and slept past his alarm." MJ assured Harry. But, in the back of her mind she knew that Peter was probably catching a mugger or two before coming. She rolled her eyes.

"Hello. Are you Harry?" Zack asked as he and Ivy walked up to the two teens.

"Yes, why?" Harry answered confused.

"I am June, and this is my younger brother Sherman. We are here for the Program and were told to talk to you." Ivy's eyes darted around.

"Really? I can't think why, I don't know anything about these programs." Harry ranted.

"Hi, my name is MJ; we were waiting for a friend but he is late so we might as well get to class." Ivy's eyes widened and she reached up and touched her earring.

"Really, a late friend?" Ivy asked again to make sure Carmen and Player both heard it.

"Ahh he is always late to everything; it doesn't matter now though." Harry sighed.

"Hey, are you both actors by any chance?" MJ asked her eyes wide open waiting for their response.

"Not really, why?" Zack responded.

"The school is doing a play about spider-man. I came up with the idea after he saved me. I asked Harry to audition but he wont, but we need more people."

"MJ you know I resent Spider-man. I am not going to go off and be in a play about him. Not after what he did." Harry grumbled.

"What did he do?" Ivy questioned hoping this would give the answer to their theories.

"Doesn't matter now." MJ shot the question down and she grabbed Harry's arm and led him inside with the others.

Carmen was keeping lookout when she saw Spider-man out of the corner of her eye, but when she looked for him, he was gone. Soon after, a brown-haired teen came running out of the alley next to the school.

"Guys, I think he is coming in." Carmen warned.
